It is one of the extremely few W-VHS models ever offered to consumers, capable of recording analog high-definition video in the 1080i format (1125/60) onto W-VHS cassettes. The HR-W5 includes a built-in MUSE decoder and BS (broadcast satellite) tuner, allowing direct off-air recording of Hi-Vision broadcasts — features not present on its North American export counterpart, the [[JVC SR-W5U]]. It can also function as a standalone MUSE decoder for external sources such as MUSE LaserDisc players.<br /> <br /> The unit doubles as a high-end S-VHS deck with full VHS and S-VHS backward compatibility. An additional &quot;SD&quot; recording mode allows NTSC programs to be recorded at slow speed onto W-VHS tapes, taking advantage of the format&#039;s extra bandwidth to achieve better quality than standard S-VHS recording. The HR-W5 was based on the mechanism of Victor&#039;s top-of-the-line VHS decks.<br /> <br /> The original MSRP was ¥340,000 (approximately US$3,350 at the time). The unit was exported to North America as the [[JVC SR-W5U]], which omitted the internal tuner, timer functions, and MUSE decoder, but added a DE-15 RGB output and carried an MSRP of US$4,890.<br /> |related_models=JVC SR-W5U<br /> |height=145 mm<br /> |width=476 mm<br /> |depth=366 mm<br /> |weight=9.5 kg<br /> |av_system=NTSC<br /> |frequency=50Hz,60Hz<br /> |power_avg=49<br /> }}<br /> {{AV voltage range<br /> |voltage_min=100<br /> |voltage_max=100<br /> }}</div>
